How to add a new menu item
To create a new menu item, make sure the second
Meedio item is selected as in the picture above, then click the 
button and select a module from the drop down list. This
will create a new menu item with a default name.
To change the name or "caption" of the menu item, first select the correct item by clicking on its name. You can then either click the name again or press the F2 key on the keyboard to highlight the item. Once the name is highlighted you can type in a new name. The item can also be renamed from the General tab of the item's properties.

Creating sub-menus
To create a new sub-menu, add a new group module. You can then rename
it to the title you wish. With the title highlighted, you can then proceed
to add additional modules below it. This can be accomplished by clicking
to insert a brand new menu item. Alternatively you can
copy, or cut an existing menu item into the sub-menu. For help on copying,
pasting, or cutting a menu item see the tips
section under How
